LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1836, The Conservatives have not yet got over the shock occasioned by the failure of their late conspiracy. This is evident from the stupor in which the whole party is now plunged, just as if their wits were all gone a woolgathering, and had no immediate intention of returning. Not a single fresh calumny can they muster pluck or tact enough to get up. Really the poor creatures must be in a most hopeless state, when they cannot find so much as a lie to feed on. We should have thought their stock of this sort of pro vision would never have beet► exhausted ; but that they would. have gone on till doomsday, fattening, and de riving fresh confidence from each fresh Munchausen. But it seems we were mistaken. Then as regards public meetings. Here the faction is equally badly, if not worse off. No counties—no cities—no towns—scarcely even a village—stir in their favour. We are constantly hearing of Reform Meetings, but where be the Conservative ones ? Where, the " glorious manifestations of Toryism," that were to shake the Whig Cabinet to its centre, and return the PEELS and GOULBURNS in triumph to the Treasury Bench ? They are no where to be found—no where to be heard of. We have looked for them in the North and in. the South, in the East, and in the West ; in Scotland, in England, and in Ireland ; but if we except South Warwickshire, where nothing but their unrivalled elec tioneering finesse enabled the faction to gain the day, not a single Tory " manifestation • ' is any where visi ble. Yet, if ever there was a necessity fo► Toryism to bestir itself, that necessity exists at the present mo ment, when the Institution of the House of Lords is in jeopardy, and the :Bishops sit uneasily on their Benches, like tenants apprehensive that they are about to be served with a summary process of ejection. But the truth, we repeat, is, Ahdt the Tories are stunned by their late repeated disasters, and we question much whether they will recover their tenses, 'till their last strong-hold is captured. Among the many . signs of infatuation—to use no stronger phrase—which the Lords have manifested of late, and which lead us to anticipate the speedy down fall of their abused power, their neglect of the advice given them by Lord GREY on Monday last may be quoted as not the least remarkable. Had their Noble and hereditary minds been of a construction capa hie of undergoing the process of conviction, con vinced they must have been. Had they not been preletermined to shut their ears to every thing that could enlighten their understandings, the speech of Lord Giu would have saved them for a time, at least . from what they look upon as destruetion—a reform or their House. In the Noble Lord, they had an in structor possessi9g qualifications for his office such as no other ►r.an could have any pretensions to—talents of the first order—political experience unprecedented—a character and an eminence in public estimation higher than any Statesman ever yet attained, and what in their Lordship's minds must have far out-weighed every other po:;sible claim to their consideration, a strong attachment to the Order of which he is the greatest ornament. But had an angel from heaven addressed then►, it would have been equally in vain— not a vote would he have been able to influence. In calling the attention of the reader to a few pas sages in the speech of the Noble Earl, we scarcely need remark the freshness and vigour which are con spicuous throughout. Age has made no inroads upon his mental powers, while it has added weight to his opinion. Lord LYNDHURST had attempted to show, with his characteristic disingenuousness, that there was little or no difference between the principles of the Bill sent up from the Commons and of that sent down from the Lords. Lord GREY thus sets the Learned Lord to rights, and puts the question on its true footing : " I dissent from the statement of the Noble and Learned Lord, that the Bill sent by this House to the House of Commons was merely an alteration of the Bill which had been sent by the House of Commons to us. The Noble and Learned Lord as serted that the Bill, as sent up by the other House of Parliament, involved three principles;—the first, the abolition of the ex isting Corporations of Ireland—the second, the substitution of other Corporations—the last, the administration of justice. To two of these principles the Noble and Learned Lord asserted that your Lordships agreed, and that you rejected only the second. Now I put it to your Lordships whether, in rejecting that second principle, you did not reject the whole essential principle of the measure? The state of the fact is this : Abuses are universally ac knowledged to exist in the Corporations of Ireland, which you ind it necessary to correct, and in order to correct them your Lordships propose to take from the people of Ireland all corporate institutions whatever, instead of reforming those institutions, so as to leave the people in the enjoyment of the same local rights and privileges as are enjoyed by their fellow subjects in England and Scotland. Is not this an essential difference from the principle of the Bill as sent up to your Lordships by the other House of Parliament 2—( Hear, hear.) It may be exceedingly proper to abolish, not entirely but in part, certain of those Corporations ; but to destroy all cor porate rights and institutions throughout the country would surely be contrary to every principle of policy and of j u stice. The principle of the measure sent to us by the House of Commons was, that the people of Ireland were entitled to Live the same privileges conferred upon them as had been conferred on the people of England and Scotland by the Municipal Corporation Bill. It is most extraordinary that when a proposition is made to correct abuses in ancient institutions, that proposition should be met by Noble Lords on the other side of the House with a proposition to extirpate them.—( Hear, hear.) Consistently with the political doctrines which had been usually maintained by those Noble Lords, they arc the very last persons from whom I should have ex pected such a suggestion."—( Hear, hear.) To the argument that the Ministerial measure would create agitation in Ireland, Lord GREY replies, that until justice is done to Ireland by admitting her to the rights and privileges guaranteed to her by the Act of Union, and confirmed by the Emancipation Act, it is impossible that there should be either order or tran quillity in that part of the kingdom : What we have to consider is, what must be done for the pur pose of rescuing the people of Ireland from the state of dis content in which they now are—what must be done for the purpose of re-establishing law and order in Ireland, and of making the people of that country fit for the enjoyment of the rights which are their due ? Now, my Lords, I again ask you, is that an object which is likely to be obtained by the course which you are pursuing ?—( Hear, hear.) You find the people of Ireland discontented and agitated ; you are called upon by them to reform their corporations ; but you will not do so, for fear of consequences ; and by your re fusal you continue the discontent and agitation which you wish to see terminated. You admit, that- but for that temporary obstacle you would adopt the course re commended to you by the other House. Nay, if it were not for those circumstances, it would be a mockery and insult to withhold from the people of Ireland that which Catholic Emancipation taught them to expect. But, my Lords, what will be the result of allowing the continuance of the existing agitation and discontent? We have been told also that the aversion to the measure proposed by the House of Commons is nearly general throughout this country. I deny it. I believe that the reverse is the case. I know that theme are many per sons not only among those who in general concur in political opinion with his Majesty's present Government, but among those who differ from them, who feel very sensibly the depri vation of right to which the people of Ireland are at present subjected. I have had the names mentioned to me of persons of influence connected with what is called the" Conservative in terest,n who have put themselves forward in requisitions for public meetings to petition Parliament to pass this Bill. The people of Ireland are a generous, a brave, and a highly excit able people. My Lords, will not speak of individuals. It has been too much the practice of late to do so in this House.—. Li e u ).___But this I will say, that if there are any persons * who objects are hostile to the peace and tranquillity of Ireland, I d o no ,: . know how your Lordships could better consult the views of such p ,:rsons than by giving them the means of appealing to the sensibility of the people of Ireland, and of persuading them that they are no : treated with equal justice." The c omparison or ra:2ler contrast between the tem perate course pursued by the fommons, and the vio lence of the Lords , is clearly and ad.i; rably drawn in the following passage : " The Bill which was sent up to you from the 1i6:23c of Commons your Lordships entirely changed. You al tered its preamble, you altered its principle ; and, not. withstanding the gloss of the Noble and Learned Lord, you altered nine-tenths of its enactments.—( Hear.) My Lords, such a proceeding as this I can never under stand but as a total rejection of the measure, and a sub stitution of another measure entirely different in principle and character. This is not exactly the way to conciliate. Nor did you alone send the Bill back to the House of Com mons entirely changed. You changed it by the introduction of a principle which, after several discussions and divisions, the House of Commons had rejected. Now, my Lords, when you say that the feelings of this House ought to be respected, you should at the same time respect the feelings of the other House.—( Cheers.) How did the House of Commons act ? They received this altered Bill in a manner and a spirit—l do not speak of the violent conduct of individuals, which I con demn—but the House at large received this altered Bill in a meaner and a spirit which I must characterise as that of mo deration.—( Cheers.) They did not immediately reject your alterations. They proceeded calmly to consider them, for the purpose of ascertaining how far, consistently with their own views of right and justice, they could modify the Bill, so as to meet your wishes, My Lords, the alterations then made by the House of Commons have not been fairly, have not been generously, represented by the Noble and Learned Lord.— ( Hear, hear.) It must he evident to every impartial man, that those alterations indicate the desire of the other House of Parliament to go as far as they could to meet your Lord ships' objections ; and you, my Lords, arc called upon to meet them in the same spirit.—( Loud cheers.) The House of Commons have set your Lordships an e xample.—(Clicers.) They have given up much. They have endeavoured to re move your Lordships' objections. They now call upon your Lordships to consider the Bill in its modified form. I hope you will do so, and that you will try whether it may not be made acceptable to both 'louses." The Lords are next reminded of the advance that will be made in the demands of the country if the present measure be rejected, and are directed to their own past experience as a guide in their present cir stances : " Now, my Lords, let me beg of you to consider, whether ifyou see before you the possibility, and, still more, if you see the ne cessity of being obliged, at some future period, to pass some measure as this, it is wise or expedient to defer doing so even for another session ? Wait for another session, my Lords, and what shall we gain in the interval?—(Loud cheers.) Have we, my Lords, no experience as to what may be the result of putting off our decision where we see an eventual necesssity for concession?—( Hear, hear.) How was it with respect to the Catholic question? Was not that measure resisted by your Lordships—(hear, hear)—for years, and were you not in the end compelled —most unwillingly compelled—in conse quence of a pressure that you could not oppose, to grant a much larger measure of relief than was at first called for— ( Cheers ?)—But, my Lords, there is a still more recent case, from which we ought, if we are wise, to gather experience—need I say I allude to the Irish Church question ? Consider what has been the consen,uencc of your rejection of the measure pro posed to you on this subject in the year 1834." This eloquent address is closed by the following powerful peroration, which we think will long ring in the ears of our hereditary legislators. They will re collect it when it is too late to profit by it : " I propose a compromise in every way consistent with your honour, and it is in your power now to avail yourselves of it ; but if you wait for another session, with all the agitation, with all the clamour that will take place in the interval, I will not answer that, any measure of the moderate kind I now sug gest will be accepted by the people of Ireland.--(Loud THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1536. cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") As one nervously anxious for the maintenance of peace, good order, and prosperity in d these realms—as one zealous for the honour, dignity and station i of the Assembly to which I belong—l do most earnestly call upon you, my Lords, to consider whether that peace,• good order, and prosperity, and whether that honour, dignity, and station may not be fearfully endangered by your rejecting in stead of receiving the Bill as sent back to you from the Com mons. Yes, my Lords, these are my concluding words to you. Consider whether some means may not be found by which an agreement might be brought about without the sacrifice of principle, or the concession of privileges. If so, for the sake of all you hold dear=-for the sake of honour—for the sake of justice—for the sake of that country in whose tranquillity and prosperity you have from your station a deep and absorbing interest, at once come forward, and by meeting the other House of Parliament in a spirit of honourable concession, at once put an end to a dispute which cannot be continued with out danger to that Constitution under which these realms have so long prospered ; and, my Lords, to come nearer home, without danger to the station in which that Constitution has placed you.—(The Noble Earl resumed his seat amid loud cheers from all parts of the House.) We beg to point attention to an article respecting the Danish Shipping Claimants, which places the question in the clearest light. We trust that Mr. CLAY'S motion will 1):! brought forward early, not withstanding the technicality which has been intt.r terposed by the Orders of the Day now taking pr?- cedence of motions. `We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday. The following appeared in the Journal le Paris of Monday night : " On the 24th thirteen Carlist battalions, with five guns, under command of Garica, attacked Larrasoana. " A company of the foreign legion which defended a block house, blew it up, after having made a vigorous resistance. " The Viceroy left Pamplona with six battalions, turned the enemy, and threw him back upon Baratan, after having inflicted upon him a loss of near 400 killed and wounded. The next day the Christinos continued in pursuit." This is the only intelligence of any moment from the north of Spain. A frontier journal notices a scheme of the Cama rilla for putting an end to the war, by a marriage be tween the eldest son of Don CA RLOS and ISABELLA 11. _This scheme is denounced as a ridiculous piece of fudge by the Liberal, a Madrid journal. The French papers of Tuesday arc filled with ac counts of the trial of the regicide A LIBEAUD. From these, copious extracts are given in another part of The Sun. PARIS, JUNE 28.—Numerous arrests took place the day before yesterday in the Rue de Beaux Arts, very near to the Rue des Marais. Five hackney-coaches were filled with young men, who were taken to the hotel of the Pre fect of the Police. It is not known on what ground these measures have been adopted.—Journal du Coninzerce. Numerous arrests (it is said 80) took place this morning, by virtue of warrants issued by the Prefect of Police, against persons said to belong to unauthorised secret so cieties. Most of the persons so arrested are young men of the working classes, living in the five and eleven Arron dissements. Among the persons arrested are said to be Messrs. Allan (father and son), dealers in china, Rue d'An gouleine, No. 14. M. Allan, their relation, timber-mer chant, Rue des Trois Barnes, and M. Mouchat, baker, Rue Descartes, Captain of the 12th Legion of the Na tional Guard. They are all lodged for the present at the Prefecture of the Police. It is said that a great number of arrests have been made. The Conciergerie, it is affirmed, contains 300 prisoners, and a great many others are said to have been removed to La Force.—Courrier. It has been affirmed yesterday and to-day that a great many persons have been arrested. Yet hitherto there seems every reason to believe that Alibeaud has no accomplices.— Journal des Debals.—Messager, June 28. FRENCH FUNDS.—PA RIS, JUNE 29. Five per Cents., 108 f. 30c. 20c. 25c.

Paolo Vignale, for merly almoner to the Emperor at St. Helena, was killed by a musket-ball, at the moment of shutting his window._ The author and the cause of this attempt are equally unknown. WHIRLWIND EXTRAORDINARY.—ConsiderabIe excitement prevailed this morning in Whitechapet-road, nearly opposite the London Hospital, in consequence of a whirlwind that took place there a few minutes before twelve o'clock. It was first seen like a cloud of dust in the middle of the road, which seemed to increase and ascend, whirling with conside rable fury till it became unusually high. It continued its pro gress till it was arrested by a broker's goods exposed for sale, which it threw down, breaking the arm off a mahogany chair, and carrying two pillows up into the air to the height of the first floor windows. It then ascended, like a coluMn of smoke, to the height of about sixty or seventy feet, when it dispersed, descending like small rain. The owners of the goods, on re placing them, seemed to be rather alarmed, not knowing what to make of it, whilst others were not a little amused at so novel a sight. The form of the cloud of dust was spiral, or pyramidical, being about twenty feet in diameter at its base, gradually inclining to a point at the top.—Morning Paper. Yesterday was shot, at Knightsbridge Barracks, poor Old Jack, the only remaining horse in the Second Regi ment of Life Guards at the battle of Waterloo. Jack carried his master through the perils of that day safely, and escaped safely himself without wound or cut. At every commemora tion Jack was dressed in laurels and paraded proudly in front. On the 18th of this month he was again honoured ; but, alas it was destined to be his last glory. Age was fast coming on him, his legs swelled, his oyes got dim : but we are perfectly sure he was quite aware when the 18th of June returned, and why he was adorned with laurels. It was a pity to shoot him : it might be to save him from the infirmities of age, or to save others the trouble of attending him. SURREY THEATRE.—Last night Madame Ves'ais and Mr. Charles Mathews, who are engaged but for a very limited period, made their appearance here—the former for the first time this season, the latter for the very first on this side the water, at any time. The Man with the Roman Nose, with which the evening's entertainments commenced, was fol lowed by Love in a Cottage; One Hour, or the Carnival Ball, and the Old and Young Stager. In the second and third pieces, Madame Vestrie, who, we are happy to say, looked exceedingly well, assumed her original characters of Mrs. Charles Mulgrave and Miss Dalton—both of which she played with her accustomed spirit and success, and, besides being most warmly applauded in all her songs, was most rats turously encored in her second, " I'll be no submissive wife." ' In the two latter pieces Mr. Charles Mathews played '.ir. Charles Swiftly and his favourite character of Tim " the tiger." Since we last saw him, lie seems to have much mel lowed in his style, and to hare, in a great degree, acquire , ' that repose which his performances heretofore most nee(!ed. The house was crowded, A great number of families are about leaving town next week ; there are not many more parties, on a grand scale, in the list of gaities to come ; and the heat has become so in tem.:. that the watering places will be filled earli er th an usua l. It i s ranourcd in the fashionable c i rc l es th a t th e Baronies of Mordaunind Turvey, at prese n t i n a b eyance be tween the Noble sisters of r;a: late Duke of G or d on' will be determined ere long by his Maj est y' in favour of the Duchess Lord Wriothesley Russell, Rect or of Cherries, Beds , not Le rd of Bedford, with remainder to h er Grace's elttvg son, the Rev. Charles, who is the Duchess's second son. The ancient Barony of Mordaunt, county Bedford (by writ of 1532) was inherited by the late Duke of Gordorn, from his distant relative, the last Earl of Peterborough. The number of suicides in Paris, during 1835, was 229, of which 73 were committed by females. The women principally destroy themselves by suffocation from the vapour of charcoal, 47 of the above having taken this means. Not one had killed herself by any sharp or pointed weapon ; 6 have died from throwing themselves out of windows, but only four men have chosen this death. Among the suicides by men, 24 have effected it by means of fire-arms ;7 by sharp weapons; 71 by suffocation from the fumes of *charcoal; 17 by drowning; 32 by hanging, a death which has been chosen by 9 women. Poison was taken by 4 men and 4 women. The number of suicides between 17 and 20 years of age was. 17, of which 4 were females ; between 20 and 39 they were 56, of which 23 were by women. After 30 the women are less given to suicide ; but they continue to be numerous among the men up to the age of 50.--.Galirani's Messenger. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. The LORDS did not meet yesterday. In the COMMONS' the London and Brighton Railway Bill, the Metropolitan Suspension-bridge Bill, the Liverpool Court of Requests Bill, and the London and Blackwall Railway Bill, were passed. Several petitions were presented on the subject of the denial of municipal rights to Ireland, and fur the abolition of Tithes. A discussion arose on the presentation from Dr. Mulholland of a petition similar to that before pre sented in the Lords'. It was received by the House only on the ground that the petitioner prayed for the enactment of a protective law. The Bill for the equalization of duties on East and West Indian Sugar was passed. Sir George Grey brought up several papers connected with the affairs of Canada, which were ordered to be printed. The House proceeded to consider the resolutions of the Committee upon the House of Commons' officers' compensation, which, after some discussion, were agreed to. The Spirituous Liquors' Sale Bill was thrown out by a majority of 37. The Committee on the Grand Juries ( Ireland) Bill was deferred till Friday. The Civil Bill Courts (Ireland) Bill was further considered in Committee. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) SHIPTON V. THORNTON. Mr. TIIESSIGER stated the case, which was an action brought by the master and owner of the ship James Scott, against a London merchant, to recover the freight of a quantity of pepper and cassia shipped at Singapore, in the East Indies. and con signed to the defendant. The vessel on her voyage to England encountered a violent storm and was obliged to put into Ba tavia, where the goods were transhipped into two other vessels, the Mountaineer and Sesostris, who agreed to carry the goods to London for a lower rate of freight than the defendant had agreed to pay the plaintiff. After the goods were delivered the defendant signed an agreement to pay the difference of freight between what the other vessels had contracted for, and what he had agreed ori ginally to pay the plaintiff, but he subsequently refused to do so. The action was brought to recover the difference between the two rates of freight, amounting to a sum of 5821. 17s. Iod. Some witnesses having been examined, Mr. CRESSWELL addressed the Jury for the defendant. He contended that no necessity had been shown for trans-shipping the goods at Batavia—that although the defendant had agreed to pay the difference of freight, he had not agreed to pay so extravagant a sum as 6001. for conveying them from one port to another in India, when the freight for the whole voyage to England was only 8001., and the object of which was merely to put a large profit into the pocket of the plaintiff. The de fendant also complained that goods amounting to 7001., be longing to him had been lost or thrown overboard, and it would be for the Jury to say whether, under all these circumstances, the defendant was liable to pay this large sum, in addition to the freight he had already paid to the owners of the Moun taineer and Sesostris. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages, 5841. 3s. 4d. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY,TIVELVE O'CLOCK Canton Papers have been this day received to the 24th February. It was reported that in the district of Showepow foo, two clans had been fighting, and a great number of men slain. It is customary amongst the villagers in the neighbour hood of Canton, at the New Year and other times, particularly on the sth day of the sth Moon, to gather together and fight. Men are often killed on these occasions ; but their deaths are not reported to the Magistrates. The Canton Papers have the following commercial remarks : IMPORTS. " COTTON.—A few small parcels of Bengal Cotton have been sold during the last two or three days, at an advance of two mace per pecul. The deliveries for the Hongs are continued with much activity. " OPIUM.—The market in Canton has not yet opened for the new Opium ; but some small sales have been made at Macao and Lintin, at upwards of 700 dollars per chest. In the old very little has been done. Deliveries to the 15th inst., Patna 113; Benares 45; Malwa 278 k. Total, 436:k chests. WooLLENs.—Remain a very dull sale ; little general bu siness has been transacted since the holidays commenced." Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails; also a mail from Malta by the Tartarus, sailed on the 11th of June ; Alexandria 13th June ; Gibraltar 20th June ; Cadiz 21st June ; and ship letters from St. Helena and China.

The Gazelle de France of Sunday has been seized for an article on the late attempt on the King's life. Yesterday the Recorder made his report to his Majesty of the under-mentioned prisoners under sentence of death in Newgate, who were convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, viz.:—John Wilson, aged 35, John Nelson, 30, George Gurney, 26, Mary Connell, 21, and Mary Jones, 17, robbery ; William Kinsey, 32, carnally knowing and abusing a child; John Perry, 32, cutting and wounding ; James Brown, 27, James Hawkins, 26, and Joseph Swinford, 19, burglary ; to all of whom his Majesty has been graciously pleased to extend his Royal mercy. The Marquis Charles de St. Maurice, responsible editor of La France, was yesterday condemned to three months' imprisonment, and a fine of 3,000 francs, for exciting the people to disobey the laws, for an attack against the re spect due to the laws, and for exciting hatred and contempt against certain classes of society, by an article published on the Bth inst., on the Bill relating to the National Guards at the Seine.—French Paper. The Council of the University has refused the ap plication of a female, who had already obtained a diploma as a midwife, to be admitted to attend the lectures at the Ecole de Medecine as a student, with a view to obtain a diploma as M.

The price has consequently fallen, but only to a cer tain degree, as dealers come from all par& of Europe to make purchases, and thus a strong competition has arisen." The following is an instance of the rapidity with which intelligence may be conveyed to a great distance : The vote of the estimates for Algiers was passed by the Chamber of Deputies at half-past four in the afternoon of the 11th instant. The news reached Toulon by telegraph on the 12th, and on the same day a steam-packet set off with it for Algiers, where it was posted up in the town, and made gene rally known on the 14th, having thus been transferred from Paris to Algiers within the space of three days. DOVER, .TUNE 29.—Sailed for Calais his Majesty's packet Ferret, Captain Hamilton, with his Excellency Count Pozzo di Borgo, the Ambassador from Russia to London. A guard of honour attended his Excellency, and the usual salute was fired on his embarkation. The camp to be formed at Compiegne will con sist of 22,000 men. The Constilutionnel du Loir et Cher, of Blois, states that it is informed that Prince Talleyrand, who is still at Valencay, becomes weaker and weaker, and, feeling his end approaching, is employed in arranging his affairs ; and adds that he is at times so much depressed as to shed tears. Emigration to the United States and Canada is proceeding to a very great extent, and for the last six months, eight large vessels have on the average sailed from the river every week with emigrants to North America. Last week, the Mayflower, Hedley, with 112 passengers, men, women, and children, farming labourers and families from Kent, sent out at the expense of the va'ious parishes ; and the Hampshire, Captain Tunperly, with 120 passengers, 39 of whom are sent out by a parish in Carnbi'lgeshire, and the remainder from Norfolk and Suffolk,—lef7 the London dock, per Quebec. The Portsea, Captain Woodward, left the London dock yes terday, with 160 emigrants. principally farming labourers and families, and a few mechanics from the metropolis. The American line of packet shin Minerva, Captain Weston, was houled out of the London :lock on Monday, with 74 passen gers, chiefly from the metropolis. This vessel is bound to New York. The St. James (a new vessel) American packet ship, W. S. Sebor, Commander, left the St. Katharine's dock yesterday afternoon, with 160 farming labourers, me chanics, and tradesmen. She is also bound for New York. There is specie to the amount of 150,000/. on board the St. James. The Africaine, Captain Duff, left the river yes tprafty, after being towed out of the London dock, w ith 130 PassengOt . men, women, and children, for South Australia, where they intend settling.

LORD PONSONBY AND THE PORTE PARIS, TUESDAY —Despatches from Constantinople, dated 9th inst., arrived to this Government last night, by a French courier. The state that all intercourse between Lord Ponsonby awl the Porte had ceased ; and the rest of the diplomatic body, finding the affair become so serious, had backed out of it, refusing further to interfere. I am bound to add, without of course expressing an opinion of my own, that the Corps Diplomatique consider that Lord Ponsonby went too far in his demands and menaces. The Ottoman fleet, which had orders and was ready to sail, was, in consequence of the state of this question countermanded, and the squadron which had already quitted the Bospho rus, was re-called (that is, orders for its recal were issued.) The reason for these measures was lest the British fleet should attempt to seize that of Turkey by a coup de main. The Porte is, in other respects, assuming a defensive at- . . titude, and is displaying an unpleasant degree of enmity or of incivility towards England. A few days before the date of those despatches, a firman applied for to enable a British vessel (with despatches) to enter the Black Sea, was for mally refused by the Turkish Government. M. Boutanieff (the Russian Ambassador) had forwarded to his Court and to London remonstrances arid protests against the charges directed against him and his Imperial Master by Lord Ponsonbv, justifying himself against the imputation of having had anything to do in producing the treatment of which Mr. Churchill had been the object. The Austrian Ambassador had also protested against those accusations, declaring them unfounded. This is not all. The Austrian Government has forwarded to its Repre sentative at the Court of London a formal protest and re monstrance against the conduct of Lord Ponsonby in the respect in question, and stating unequivocally that it (the Austrian Government) will consider as a declaration of war any act of hostility committed against Turkey by ANY power of Europe, and that it is determined, moreover, to maintain in its fullest extent and meaning the integrity of the Ottoman empire. I cannot close this hurried but important statement with out adding that all the dispatches received last night (and there were three besides that from which these particulars are extracted) speak of the affair as very serious indeed.

EGG.—A chuckie, well worth her weight in gold, dropped an egg this morning, which at present lies on our table, measuring 84 in. longitudinal circumference, half a foot in girth, and weighing fully 34 ounees.—Du n Courier. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS . — These sessions com menced yesterday before the Recorder, Aldermen Cowen, Winchester, Farebrother, the High Bailiff, and other muni cipal authorities. The calendar contained but very few pri soners for trial, several of which were tried, but not one of them of anv public interest. A few any ago a sparrow hawk, the most deadly to the small birds of the whole tribe, darted against a half-open window of a house in High-street, drew the head of a favourite canary through the wires of its cage, held the grip with all the force of a smith's vice, and busied itself in picking out the eye% and brains. The mistress of the family who happened to be sitting in an adjoining apartment, heard a noise or flutter, and hurried to the spot under the impression that all was not right with a bird endeared to her by many tender recollections. But she was too late, and in the first burst of emotion seized the intruder, and dashed it to the ground with such force that it instantly expired. It is but rare that hawks in towns arc so reckless and bold, and it may be worth while to add that an incident, which, under ordinary circumstances, has the effect of throwing the nursery into tears, was in this instance com mitted in the house of our worthy Chief Magistrate. Hawks, however, arc above or beyond the law, and care nothing what ever for the powers that be.—Dumfries Courier. HAWKING IN ZETLAND.— Earl Patrick of Ork ney kept a number of hunting hawks at his Castle of Scallo way in Zetland, and levied a tax of a hen from every house to feed them. This tax has long been in disuse, but the Zet landers are under great alarm at present on account of an order said to have been made to resume the tax of the hen, with a peony in addition to pay her freight to Edinburgh.—Edinburult Advertiser. DINNER TO THOMAS CAMPBELL, ESQ.—The Campbell Club entertained their distinguished patron at din ner on Tuesday last. Professor Wilson was invited, and with that prompt heartiness which always animates him when called upon to express his admiration of true genius, he cast all in cumbrances behind him and name. With two such men the Ivening could not fail to be delightful in the extreme, We have often been electrified by his eloquence, but never heard him so felicitous and powerful as on this occas;on. The bard of Hope was like his poems, delicate, tender, and tasteful, with a delicious play of quiet sly humour. Altogether the even ing will not easily he forgotten by those who were present. Mr. Campbell has accepted an invitation from the Glasgow Polish Association.—Glasgow Argus. SUPPLY OF COALS TO 'THE METROPOLIS.—A new Company is established for the purpose of extensively working the collieries of the county of Durham, and parties connected with the coal mining districts of the north of Eng land have embarked largely in the undertaking. It is called the Durham County Coal Company. Its capital is 500,000 j., and it is promoted by parties conversant with the subject, who are supposed to have made judicious seleetions of collieries and coalfields.—Morning Parr.. The Emperor of Russia has lately granted to the Acad,cmy of Sciences of St. Petersbug the sum of bO,OOO roubles, for the purpose of making a trigomunetrieal survey of the levels of the Black Sea and tho Caspian, whereby a pro. blem of the high es t impmtaneo may be solved. (in the 41ist instant, as M. Dubois, rector of Saint Nectaire, in the Puy de Dome, who is upwards of 80 years old, was coming from church at eight o'clock in the morning, he was assailer by, a man to whom ho had gi v en alms the day before, who stabbed him in many places with a dagger, and did not desist until ho was interrupted by the approach of some people. He then fled, but was pursued and taken at the moment he was attempting to commit suicide. The rec tor lies in a hopeless state. The act took place in sight of only one woman, and its cause is as ye: a mystery.—Galig, nani's Messenger, DANISH CLAIMS. ON TILE PREFERENCE DUE TO THE SHIPPING CLAIMS. The question whether justice is to be done to thi Shipping Claimants for losses by the Danes may, perhaps, come on to-morrow evening, or whenever the grant to the other class is brought forward in the Supplies. The case is this : The aggressions of Great Britain, which in them selves were a departure from the usages and law of nations, paved the way for the retaliation inflicted by Denmark on the private property of British subjects. These aggressions were made with a deliberate know ledge that Denmark might, in consequence, with r.er feet legality, confiscate ships and cargoes belonging to British subjects in her ports and seas. M c sa crce of this description of property was thus evi dently premeditated by the British Government, while, on the other hand, the sequestration of book debts being unusual, was not anticipated-as an ordi nary consequence of the acts of Great Britain. The question thence arises - If tee indemnify parties who have been wronged by others, as the book creditors are said to have been, ought we not for stronger reasons to repair the in juries we ourselves have occasioned ? The solution of this question of preference as be tween the two classes of claimants, would seem, there fore, to depend on another preliminary question. Whether a wrong doer be more bound to renair wilfid injury than a casual or inadvertent one, when the ii jury in each instance arises from his original misfeasance? The very first aggression, that of seizing the Danisll ships and cargoes prior to hostilities, could only be ju.s tified as securing the means of providing indemnity for the British shipping and cargoes, which the British Government must have anticipated would otherwise fall a sacrifice, in consequence of it and of the intended further aggressions ; and there can be no doubt that it would be more just to indemnify the Shipping claimants out of the Danish prize money received by the country, than ,it is to pay the book debts out of it, which, it is acknowledged, the Danes, and not the people of Eng land, ought to pay, and the payment of which the Treaty of Kiel (lid provide for. LITERATURE. LITERARY REMAINS OF THE LATE WILLIAM HAZLITT. In Two Vols. London : Saunders and Otley. 1836. Prefixed to this collection of essays, some of which are finer than any contained in Hazlitt's " Table-talk" and " Plain-speaker," is " a biographical Sketch of the Author's Life, by his Son ; Some Thoughts on the Genius of Hazlitt, by Mr. E. L. Bulwer ; and, a Dissertation on his Intellectual Character, by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd. The public, we are con fident, will be pleased with the way in which the younger Mr. Hazlitt has performed this sacred duty to the memory of his father. With every disposition to do justice to the intellectual character of an author misunderstood and under-rated during his life-time, and to vindicate the moral worth of a man whose re pulsive manners, perhaps, even more than his casual frailties, exposed to the most cruel calumnies, Mr. Hazlitt carefully avoids running into the opposite ex treme, by attempting any laboured panegyric on the genius or the virtues of his illustrious parent. With a few allowances for the tender relationship between the object of this biographical sketch and the writer of it—allowances which we are confident will be cheer fully made—we may safely pronounce this notice of Hazlitt's life as a most impartial epitome of his per sonal history. Of the Essays on the Genius of Hazlitt, by l Ar. Bulwer and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, that by the author of " Ion" is the more laboured, and enters more fully into an examination of the peculiar powers and faculties of his mind. Mr. Bulwer considers bins chiefly in the light of a critic ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd in that of a critic, a philosopher, and a politician. By Mr. Bul wer his criticisms on Shakspeare are regarded as mas ter-pieces ; in the judgment of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd they are secondary in merit, originality, and power to se veral of his other works. We shall here quote a striki pg instance of this discrepancy of opinion ; and we s:nall take " Shakspeare's Plays" as the more tangil,te and intelligible to every class of readers. Mr. Bulwer, in descanting upon Cie peculiar powers of Hazlitt as 3 critic, and more particularly upon " the wonderful sub tlety with which he possessed hiroself of the intentions of the author," says : " Thus especially in his ' Characters of Shakspeare'o Plays,' he seizes at once upon the ruling principle of each , with an ease, a carelessness, a quiet and unstrained fi delity,' which proves bow familiarly he dwelt upon th e secret he bad mastered. He is, in these sketches, less elo quent and less refining than Schlegel, but it is because la has gazed away the first wonder that dazzles and inspires his rival. He has made himself household with Shakspear e ' and his full and entire confidence that he understands tbo mysteries of the host in whose dwelling-place he has tar ried, gives his elucidations, short and sketch-like theY are, the almost unconscious simplicity of a man explainia the true motives of the friend he has known. Thus the character of Hamlet,' on which so many have be en bewildered, and so many have been eloquent, he e mpl o P little or nothing of the lavish and exuberant diction, or the elaborate spirit of conjecture that he can command at 'so l l. He utters his dogmas as unpret e ndi ng ly as if they We re common-places, and it is scarcely till h e b r i ngs the charac ter of • Hamlet,' as conce i ve d b y hi m, into suddenlden contr a.it with the delineation of the two master actors of his time , that you perceive bow new and irresistible are his COw' elusions." Mr. Bulwer then goes on to prove the correcto es : of his impr ess i ons an d conv i ct i ons b y cop i ous extract . , from Hazlitt' s cr iti c i sms on " H am l et, " " R o meo an d Juliet," & c ., p art i cu l ar l y d we lli ng upon t h e last as _ criticism worthy o f th e grea t or i g i na l. Referring w the same work, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd observes " Of Shakspeare's geni us Mr. Hazlitt has written lars_ c ;.,„,' and well ; but there is more f e li c ity in his incidental re!,, rences to this great subject, th an in those elaborate upon it, which fill the volume entitled 'Characters of 5b . ," .0 speare's Plays.' In reading them we are fatigued by .ti t ' it perpetual eulogy—not because we deem it excessive, :_ o because we observe in it a constant straining to express admiration too vast for any style. There is so much gested by.the poet to each individual mind, which ble u at o with and colours its own most profound meditatio i ns av : dearest feelings, without assuming a distinct f o rm, t resent the laborious efforts of another to body forth .c : te own ideas of our common inheritance, unless they s h il e il,„ ol „ themselves by entire success, as intruding on. glancet n f t ground of our own thoughts.
